Home Improvement Thread II (2018)

Right about $500, anything touching soil is pressure treated, what little bit isn't touching soil is untreated. That includes some mulch and pavers for the walkways. I'm sure it could be done for cheaper, if I'd have known it was going to add up to that much I would have thought about it a bit more, there's probably room for some cheap decking somewhere. I built each long side and situated it in place then connected the short sides to box it in, those long sides were heavy and I hated every minute of moving them around.

 

I put semi-permeable weed blocker stuff down under the whole thing, with 18" of dirt I'm not sure that's going to matter for the garden boxes but it should help with the walkways.

 

I'll get some pictures of my "plans" and get back to your PM tomorrow.

Lots of stuff done to the house. First coat of paint up. Floors installed, Cabinets are up. Counter tops installed, bunch of other stuff. Rather than pasting all the crap in here, here's a link..

very nice!

[Mace1647545504]

I also built some raised garden beds, my wife's garden was sacrificed when the new garage went in last fall so I owed her something nice. No idea how I'm going to fill these with dirt and plants with everything being locked down now.

 

 

those are some deep areas what do you plan on growing....very cool!!

Mines not near as fancy, but it's been functional. Just burnt it off today.

All of them look good. We're moving next weekend and will have some planter boxes. So ready to grow some of our own things again.

awesome thank you!

Boring half wall by my front door.... (plants only there temporarily to get out of the way of finishing the floor)

 

 

 

Had an idea... (original plan for the river stone tiles I used to make the plant coffee table with)

 

 

 

Done! Three river stone tiles and repurposed bamboo flooring

 

 

With the couch back in place...

 

[zeitgeist57]

Thats a clever use of those stone tiles. I dig it.

[Otis Nice]

Very nice.

Is anyone having mulch dumped in their driveway? Who is the best to go with? Ohio Mulch seemed kind of expensive.

I have a trailer, so I just go pick it up from a place right around the corner from me. I got a steal this year. They still have quite a bit left over from last year. It's normally $40 per bobcat scoop. I got it for $20 per scoop and I'm able to fit 2 scoops in my trailer. I'm over near Carroll, so I know that doesn't help you much, but if you have a trailer, picking it up is the cheapest way to go.

Agree. I had some materials delivered from Home Depot the other day, finished up cutting everything yesterday and if the weather holds up and I have some free time later today from work, I hope to lay it all out and get ready to breaking some dirt. Ordering a load of topsoil and what not too.

Anyone have a handyman/roofer they would recommend? I need to put in a new exhaust vent on my roof.

Not without being charged a ton, it’s easy to do yourself if able

 

Just lift the shingles around the area, toss new vent cover on and seal the shingles back down with correct adhesive

I’m not about heights... at all. Its one of three things I don’t like. That’s why I’m fine with paying for it. Was hoping to find a good handyman to keep him around for other stuff down the road.

Large pic. Panoramic shot of the kitchen into the family room. Should be moving in soon (has to be at least May 8th because that's the earliest date Ashley furniture will deliver )
